Hi guys, thanks for checking out my tut. This is real old now (from 2007) so some things might be a little different (Gimp might look different or some filters have different names or whatever.)

Thanks everyone for all the favourites! It's really heartwarming to know that so many people care about my tutorial. To everyone who really enjoy using this tutorial, or learnt anything from it, I hope you go on to be better than this XD
Read my Gimpsentials tutorial to learn about handy GIMP tips like how to save your image with the layers saved too! Click here to go there now.
UPDATE: For everyone that doesn't know, you can set the Mitre Limit to 100,
which means that your bezier curve joins will ALWAYS be pointy!
Just learnt this myself
Here is a screenshot to help you:

Thanks.
I just need to get used to it that's all!
Haha, here I am. Thank you, this really makes my art look better and it was an extremely useful tutorial!
On another note, I was wondering if you knew how to color the lineart? I try to do it with another layer on "Addition", but it just looks bad.
Thank you for your time and for the help! : D
Thanks for stopping by. Appreciate the comment! If you have the lineart by itself on alpha, you can check "Lock Alpha" and then you'll only be drawing/painting/effecting the lines. A different method is to have the lineart on white on the bottom layer and use multiply layers for the colouring above it.
I'll have to make something soon using that trick, haha. Thank you very much again! c:
The lineart itself.

I really don't get it even after watching a video teaching me how, but didn't get it entirely!
Please respond.
thank you so much!
If i knew a lot of icons i would so put!
thanks anyway!
2. Open in gimp.
3. Use Color>Threshold. Mess with the settings it 'til you get about what your lines to look like and then press "Okay" to apply it to the image.
4. Problem with pesky speckles obstructing the line art you have so far? Use "Despeckle!" Filters>Enhance>despeckle This will get rid of most of those speckles when you get it at a setting that works for you.
5. Still unhappy with it? Go to "Filters" again under blur and hit "Gaussian Blur" and fiddle with the settings until you find something you like and looks right to you.
6. Go to "Threshold" again and repeat Step 3.
7. Go back and fix any errors or things that are bothering you.
This is a result of using this lineart technique and coloring [link]
